CHABRET "V Design" cutting board by Studio QOOQ 40x40cm

A young French industrial design agency, QOOQ has collaborated with Chabret to bring you a unique board that is both modern and authentic, combining elegant simplicity with practical rusticity.

The contrast is striking. Established in the Loire since 1885, the Chabret workshops have accumulated over a century's worth of expertise in top-of-the-range planks and logs. QOOQ, for its part, has been producing exceptional designs for 8 years, combining modernity and simplicity. The result of the meeting of these two worlds is the Chabret QOOQ log. The combination of experience and innovation ina durable, practical and elegant utensil .

Manufactured using the tried-and-tested technique of "end grain" wood, this worktop will stand the test of time. Already renowned for its excellent shock resistance, hornbeam wood is now even more robust.

Chabret worktops are made up of an assembly of blocks cut perpendicular to the wood fibers, with the fibers running across their width. As a result, knocks and scratches sustained during cutting are applied in the direction of the fiber, which absorbs them much more effectively than when they are applied perpendicularly. As a result, there's no risk of splitting or chipping. This technique, combined with the careful selection of the finest hornbeam from the Jura forests, guarantees a board of exceptional durability.

And because your board remains smooth and notched, it also reduces the risk of bacterial growth. The result is a professional-quality log, meeting NF food hygiene standards, that will always remain clean and healthy, even after intensive use.

Care instructions :

If wood is not regularly nourished, it tends to warp: wood works, shrinking and expanding under the effect of humidity and temperature, eventually causing cracks. To avoid this, this type of high-end board needs to be maintained with mineral oil or special waxes. After each wash, dry the board with a cloth. Once dry, coat with cutting-board oil and rub with a cloth or paper towel. Ideally, oil the board until it no longer absorbs oil. We recommend oiling the board once a week.
